Keyboard shortcuts in iMovie on iPhone
You can quickly accomplish many tasks in iMovie using a Bluetooth® keyboard.
Note: To pair a Bluetooth keyboard with iPhone, turn on the keyboard (or turn it off and on if it’s already on), then go to Settings > Bluetooth. Turn on Bluetooth, then tap the keyboard when it appears in the Devices list.
To complete an action, press all the keys in the shortcut at the same time.
